TOWNSHEND — Part of the problem with political issues these days is we refuse to even listen to the other side. The country is extremely polarized, as is the media, which plays to one side or another.
The Commons has been responsible, in my view, by publishing a side that might not be popular in the area that it serves. To even suggest that they may be “on the take” does them a great disservice. You have one opinion of the closing of Vermont Yankee; others, though they might or might not be from the area, have another.
Responsible media will present differing sides of any issue and let the public debate and decide who is right.
But, then, you might have a different opinion.
